In the sky, the giant and the Three-headed Dragon Monster were locked in fierce combat, golden thunderclaps colliding with Light Energy incessantly, each clash evenly matched.

The disturbance of Dark Energy caused the giant to falter for a brief moment. When he came to, the golden thunderstorm had already swept over him, slamming him into the ground.

"Boom!!"

The earth shook violently, dust and soil erupting hundreds of meters into the air.

"Damn it..."

The giant cursed loudly, brushing off the dirt on his body with casual indifference before leaping into the air, ready to battle the greedy snake for another three hundred rounds.

"Snap!!"

Suddenly, a streak of dark golden Energy Whip tore through the air, its suffocating Dark Energy sending a tremor through the giant's heart, prompting him to instinctively roll away to avoid the whip's assault.

"Boom boom boom..."

The whip lashed the ground, triggering a chain of explosions that extended several kilometers away before finally ceasing.

"Who's there..."

The giant turned, only to see a swirling mass of pitch-black Dark Energy. A dark golden giant, with an imposing and elegant gait, emerged before the giant's eyes, radiating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The dark golden giant had a slim figure, with golden streaks adorning its dark gray body.

Its sharp, angular eyes burned intensely with fiery red, while golden markings resembling tear tracks ran from the corners of its eyes down to its chin.

With every movement emanating an air of unmatched grace, it was a female giant unlike any the giant had ever seen before.

And it was, unmistakably, a Dark Giant!

"Impossible... A Dark Giant..."

The Light Giant staggered backward, his voice brimming with incredulity.

"Thud... Thud... Thud..."

The ground trembled faintly as Sika, controlling the giant's body, slowly advanced, a dark golden Energy Whip once again materializing in her hand.

Without wasting any words, Sika's palm quivered, unleashing a surge of Dark Energy. The dark golden whip slithered out like a giant python ready to devour, aiming straight for the energy light on the giant's chest.

"No!"

The giant exclaimed in alarm, the whip's speed like lightning, leaving him little time to react. He could only focus on condensing his internal Light Energy as much as possible, radiating brilliance across his body before rolling away once more to evade the whip's assault.

"Boom..."

The giant rolled to the side, but the expected explosion of the whip striking the ground did not come.

Unease welled up in his heart, and sure enough, the next moment, the dark golden whip's attack transformed. From a precise strike, it shifted to a broad, sweeping motion, wielding boundless Dark Energy to strike at the giant's waist.

Being the Princess of the Dark Country didn't mean Sika was merely ornamental.

Though not proficient in all eighteen martial arts, her mastery of common weapons far exceeded her peers in the Dark Country.

These skills were of little use against giant beasts, but now, with her body Giantized, she wielded them with uncanny ease.

"Snap!!"

Finally, the giant failed to dodge this whip. The dark golden whip lashed his waist, sparking a collision between Dark Energy and Light Energy. Radiant flashes blossomed like fireworks as the giant let out an agonized cry, his massive frame sent barreling hundreds of meters away, smashing through a mountain.

"Beep beep beep..."

With just one lash, most of the giant's Light Energy was eroded by Dark Energy, and the energy light on his chest flickered urgently.

"Impossible... How could she be this strong?"

In the ruins of the mountain, the giant struggled to rise, countless shards of stone tumbling off his colossal body. As he stared at the approaching dark golden giant with its elegant stride, fear still tainted his voice.

Run?

The giant shook his head, decisively abandoning the thought.

This Dark Giant's strength surpassed his, and her flying speed was unlikely to be slower than his. The time remaining in his Giantized form was limited—he couldn't get far before collapsing.

Then...

The giant's gaze gleamed as he zeroed in on the dark golden Energy Whip in Sika's hand.

To counter a whip wielder, close-quarters combat was their Achilles' heel.

"Attack!!"

The giant roared, running his hands across the energy light on his chest. Vast Light Energy condensed into a serrated circular Light Wheel, which he hurled toward Sika.

The Eight-Pointed Light Wheel!

"Buzz..."

Mid-flight, the Eight-Pointed Light Wheel split into three, transforming into dazzling light projections that attacked Sika from multiple angles.

Facing the incoming Light Wheel, Sika put one hand on her hip, striking a graceful pose as she flicked her whip. Dark Energy morphed into a giant python, effortlessly smashing the approaching Light Wheel into fragments.

"Haha, fell for it!"

The giant rejoiced, his figure already transformed into a beam of light as he landed behind Sika, the Eight-Pointed Light Wheel in his hand ready to cleave downward.

Sika, as though anticipating it all along, remained unmoving, her whip suddenly retracting as a dark golden Energy Sword took its place.

"Screech!!"

In an instant, the sword's cry echoed across the heavens, causing Dark Energy in the sky to churn violently. Dark purple thunderbolts surged, as if threatening to engulf the world's last rays of light.

"Thud!!"

"Urgh..."

A muffled groan escaped the giant's lips as his body froze in place, his raised hand losing its grip, the Eight-Pointed Light Wheel fading away slowly.

He lowered his gaze to find the dark golden Energy Sword piercing through his abdomen, radiant Light Energy rapidly leaking from the wound.

"No!!!"

"Thud!"

Sika drew her sword with a swift motion, and the Light Giant's form shattered into countless Light Particles that condensed into a burly figure upon the ground.

"Run!!"

The burly figure, showing no signs of fatigue, bolted at an incredible speed the moment it appeared.

"Screech!!"

In the next moment, the sword's cry reverberated once more as an enormous dark golden Energy Sword descended from the heavens, engulfing the fleeing figure.

Within just a few moves, the Light Giant was utterly defeated!

...

In the small town, the green glow dissipated.

Qin Shou stood with hands clasped behind his back, smiling with satisfaction.

The experiment concluded successfully, and the results proved that the humans here possessed an unimaginable compatibility with the Giant Stone Statue—exiting the Giantized form without experiencing any period of weakness.

And Sika's performance in this battle was an unexpected delight.

Not only was she skilled with both whips and swordsmanship, but when transformed into the Dark Giant, her every move radiated an unmistakable aura of elegance. She truly lived up to her title as Princess.
